Balancing Equations

Post by Daogroupie »

Anyone got any tips for teaching this? It is a huge chunk of marks in Edexcel Science and is not explained very well in any of the books. Thanks DG

Any help? We did loads at O level and I remember it being very straightforward but I can't remember how we were taught to do it.
